...of schooling, I have suffered several health complications and other pitfalls. I remained successful in my studies due to my interest in the material and other useful strengths. I have countless academic interests that range from History and Literature, to Science and Mathematics. My best academic strength is my ability to take an interest in the work at hand no matter the topic. Another one of my strengths would be my ability to pick up brand-new material quickly and assist my peers that encounter difficulties. Although I love aiding others who struggle, I will may also struggle in my studies, and I will ask others for assistance, which I believe to be a useful tool. Although I find all of my classes interesting, science,...

...issue was the impact of following up on the Arizona State mandated Educational Career Action Plans, (ECAP) and how this increased emphasis on career planning will impact surveys of graduates at Holbrook High School. Action Inquiry Course: EDA 555 Statement of the Problem What must be done to raise student and family awareness of the importance of post-secondary planning? Holbrook High School has taken on the challenge of raising student and parental awareness of the reality of today’s economy – a high school diploma is not enough. To raise awareness of the importance of planning for college career readiness post- high school, HHS has attempted to develop a stronger career planning component. Relation of the Problem to the Specialization In examining the legal issues related to post-secondary planning and career readiness, effort must be made to address the State of Arizona’s mandate on College and Career Readiness, the school district’s policies, and the ramifications for federally funded schools that do not meet the State’s required Education and Career Action Plan, (ECAP). The specialization of this particular class is legal issues in education, and the legal issues associated with AZCCRS and ECAP relate directly to the funding consequences of schools that do not address these mandated issues Background and Context for the Problem Educators must now be able to prepare students for careers that may not yet exist. To prepare flexible and motivated graduate, a renewed...

...The knowledge of the foundations and history of nursing has provided great enhancement in the role of a nurse. I read the “Nursing History Timeline” and found out how much Florence Nightingale, Walter Whitman, Dorthea Dix and Harriet Dame made an enormous impact on the nursing practice. I wish everyone who chooses nursing as a career embraces their patient advocacy and compassion for others. The first trend in the “Nursing Timeline of Historical Events” was the quality of care. In the beginning of nursing prior to the 1800’s very little attention was given to the quality of care provided to patients. Most of the nursing care was provided by men of religious orders and currently the nursing profession is employed by women. Today we strive to provide the best quality of care to our patients as a whole. I feel it’s not the quantity of care given it’s the quality that makes the patients feel they have been given the best care possible. The second trend is “Modern Nursing” early on in the Crimean War a nursing job was considered “undesirable”. “A nursing job was given to the immoral, the alcoholic and the illiterate”. These days a registered nurse is one of the most desired jobs for men and women. I feel very honored to be a nurse and very lucky to have a college degree. Society has made nursing a reputable and educated career choice and highly desirable. The third trend is technology and how it has tremendously evolved and become so complex. The timeline shows many things...

...areas of the world to their kingdom but simultaneously spread Christianity throughout this New World. The Catholic Church, a powerful institution in its own right, with the dedicated word of European missionaries, the growth of the religion led to the conversion of much of the indigenous populations in the Americas. The missionaries built missions and had haciendas that created environments in which the Catholic religion was a fundamental incorporation of life, so as to convert the indigenous population. The missionaries also built schools and universities to educate the Spanish colonials. The University of Mexico was one of the first universities in colonial Mexico and provided the education needed to be a physician, a lawyer, and any other career that required a degree in colonial times. Only men were allowed to attend universities in this time period and religion definitely played an integral part in the education of the male...

...Career Counseling Term Paper [SCHOOL NAME HERE] [YOUR NAME HERE] [DATE HERE] Person-in-Environment The person-in-environment theory concentrates on the situation one may find him or herself in over the course of one’s life. For example, various life stages may include preparing to graduate from high school, going into college, graduating from college, getting married, buying a home, having children, and so forth. These various situations impact the person in different ways. Also, the social context in which the person experiences these stages is also relevant. For example, if a person is entering college and is seeking employment in an area in which other people of the same age are not seeking higher education, there will be some conflicting priorities, needs and abilities that the person will encounter and have to cope with. Another term used to describe the person-in-environment theory is “ecological system” (Zunker, 2012, pg. 57). While this term is more commonly used when talking about flora and fauna in the wild, it is very applicable to career counseling as well. The career world is often congruent to that of the animal kingdom. There are hierarchies, competition for resources, and inevitably someone thrives and someone fails. By focusing on this corresponding model as an analogy to how one’s career may evolve over time and through various obstacles, a career counselor can help a person to focus on external issues and how to best handle them. This is...

...about the university career he would follow as the school year 1877-1878 is nearing. Different authors of Rizal give different answers on what and who influenced Rizal in opting what course to take. It is the question of who made the final choice, he himself, his mother, his father, his brother or the Jesuits. Rizal tells us that his mother was worried about him pursuing a university career in Manila because of her ingenuity, or possibly her motherly instinct. His mother Teodora feared that Rizal would come to a bad end just as the fate of ilustrados before like Father Burgos. Buthe does not say in memorias de un estudiante, he did not specify what her mother preferred for him. His brother Paciano discouraged him from taking law, because of the belief that Rizal would not be able to practice that profession due to the political conditions that time. In his memorias de un estudiante, he recalls: “I enrolled in Metaphysics because, aside From the fact that I had doubts about the career I should follow, my father wanted me to study it (Metaphysics).” Very likely, Don Francisco had pictured Rizal having a career in Civil Law. And due to this, Don Francisco advised Rizal to take up the preparatory course of “Metaphysics.” (Rizal terms the philosophical subjects he’s taking up then as “Metaphysics.”) But in the University of Santo Tomas that time, there was no such thing as a career of Metaphysics, neither a Faculty called “Philosophy and Letters.” The career of “Philosophy” was...

...Organizational Structure MGT/230 October 8, 2012 Organizational Structure Nordstrom Incorporated has a history that dates back to 1901, when John W. Nordstrom and Carl Wallin joined forces and opened the first Wallin & Nordstrom, Inc. They opened their first shoe store in downtown Seattle, Washington, and found that they needed to look for new and innovative ways for their company’s growth. They ventured into the clothing market and started selling fine apparel and added men’s clothing and children’s wear to expand the needs of their customers. In 1971 they went public, and the company was recognized as the largest-volume West Coast fashion specialty store, and the company name was formally changed to Nordstrom, Inc. From the beginning, John Nordstrom shared a business philosophy that was exceptional service, selection, quality, and value. Today the philosophy remains the same (“Nordstrom.com,” n.d.). The vertical structure is very apparent in the Nordstrom, Inc. organization. The company has key executives, board members, and executive key committees that run the organization. According to Bateman & Snell, (2011), corporate governance is a role of the corporation’s executive staff and board of directors in ensuring that the organizations activities meet the goals of the stakeholders. The board of directors’ selects, advises, and oversees management and is responsible for the day-to-day operations of the company. Although Nordstrom, Inc. is a vertical organization...

Tom Brady is known to be one of the greatest quarterbacks in the National Football League which we know as NFL. Tom Brady, however, didn’t get this way just by taking the easy road. His journey hasn’t been a walk in the park. I found out a lot of new things about this person that inspire me to never giving up. He truly has changed my life. Talk about an inspirational figure. Tom Brady is one of the greatest Quarterbacks in our time, but he is more than just a player. Tom Brady is also a son, a husband, and a lovely father. A quarterback is the leader of the offense.

A quote that stands out to me that Brady said is, “To often in life, something happens and we blame other people for us not being happy or satisfied or fulfilled. So the point is, we all have choices, and we make the choice to accept people or situations or to not accept situations. (Tom Brady Quotes, n.d.)

...How to write a resume Method One of Five: Formatting Your Resume * Image titled Make a Resume Step 1 1*Format your text.* The first thing that a possible employer will see on your resume is the text. For that reason, it is very important that you make the right first impression. Choose a professional font in a size 11 or 12. Times New Roman is the classic serif font, while Arial and Calibri are two of the better choices for sans-serif. Even though Sans Serif fonts are more popular for resume, Yahoo has chosen Helvetica as the best font to use for your resumé. * Times New Roman is actually a little hard to read on a screen for many people. If you are emailing your resume, consider using Georgia instead for a more readable serif font. * You can use multiple fonts for different parts of your resume, but try to limit it to two maximum. Instead of changing between fonts, try making specific sections bold or italicized instead. * The font for your header and the introduction to a section may be a size 14 or 16, but otherwise you should not use a very large font. * Your text should always be printed in solid black ink. Make sure to deactivate any hyperlinks (like to your email) so that they don’t print in blue or another contrasting color. * Image titled Make a Resume Step 2 2*Set up the page.* Your page should have one inch margins all the way around with 1.5 or 2 point line spacing.

...would not be put at risk. Preference is the act of preferring, choosing, or favoring one above other. One example of this is choosing what career path to be taken in College. But it is not simply choosing, there are some factors associated why people choose one above other. A student might choose Engineering because he is good at Mathematics or Accountancy because it is an in-demand course. This proves that choosing a career path is an important decision that will make in determining future plans because this decision will impact throughout ones lives. Usually, this occurs in the midst of fourth year in high school of the students. For them to be able to go onto higher level, they are sought to choose a career path among many options. But because of these many options they tend to be more confused and they tend used their preference. Notre Dame of Kabacan is just one of the school institutions in Kabacan, North Cotabato that caters secondary level of education. This school has fourth year high school students that might experience the same situation. In this study, the researcher will: determine what is the career preferred by students; identify the factors affecting their preference; determine the advantages and disadvantages in choosing a career; and identify the problems encountered by the students in choosing a career path.

...CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION 1. BACKGROUND OF STUDY Generally, researchers have investigated issues relating to aspects of career choice by teenagers (Breakwell, 1988; Dick & Rallis, 1991; Jawitz, 2000; Woolnough, 1994). Southwick (2000), for example: observes the trend toward a decline in graduate enrolments in health-related fields, as well as science and engineering, having recorded enrolment decline from 1993-1997, after four decades of annual increases. A continuing decline of admissions in these areas may lead to a shortage of skilled health and science workers and this could ultimately hurt the society. Palmer (2005) also observes the reduction in the numbers and calibre of students seeking admissions into engineering education in Australia. Poor image of the engineering profession generally and the poor understanding of engineering in schools were identified as contributing reasons for this situation. In Nigeria, many youths make wrong career choices due to ignorance, inexperience, peer pressure, advice from friends, parents and teachers, or as a result of the prestige attached to certain jobs without adequate vocational guidance and career counseling (Salami, 1999). Consequently, many of them are unsuited for their careers, as they usually find themselves in jobs that do not satisfy their value needs. When this occurs, they constitute nuisance to themselves and their employers. They are usually unable to contribute meaningfully to the society, and they ultimately...
